About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a federal solicitation for a trail bridge replacement project on the Payette National Forest. The project involves designing, purchasing, delivering and installing a 60 foot span prefabricated steel truss trail bridge and two precast concrete grade beams at a remote site that will require use of a helicopter to transport materials. Access to the bridge location is limited to non-motorized use, so any equipment would need to be flown in. The contractor is responsible for coordinating equipment weights with helicopter lift capacity and ensuring footings are appropriately located for bridge placement. Compaction testing is not required. A 6-inch geocell material meeting the attached specification is suitable for placement below the precast beams.

1. Will we be able to access the bridge location with equipment (i.e. mini-excavator, roller) to complete this work? If so, will we be able to access the site from the ground, or will equipment need to be flown to the worksite?
Trail access is limited to two wheel motorized. Any equipment would have to be flown in.
1. If the site is accessible for equipment, is crossing the stream with equipment allowed/possible?
Equipment fording of the river is limited to two trips
1. It appears that any materials required to backfill the new bridge would be obtained from on-site, please verify this.
That is correct
1. Will surveying by the contractor be required?
Contractor is responsible for ensuring that footings are located appropriately for bridge segments to be placed on top.
1. Will compaction testing be required?
No
1. This project calls for Geocell to be placed below the precast grade beams. Neither the Special Provision nor FP-14 contain a specification for geocell. Please provide a specification for this material.
A 6” geo cell such as those found in the attached specification would be suitable
